Thistle & Shamrock for February 03, 2007
8:00 PM - 9:00 PM
[Program Website]
Today's Highlight: New Traditions
Music from traditional roots absorbs new influences and styles from the Celtic heartlands and around the world. Hear the best of the emerging sounds.
Viewing her program as an on-air community, Fiona Ritchie has created a gathering place for anyone who enjoys music from Celtic roots, and loves to accompany her across the bridges she builds between the traditional and the contemporary, between Celtic music and the world.
The object of international critical acclaim, Thistle comes to listeners from Perthshire in the heart of Scotland, where Ritchie weaves the textures of her musical world into a richly entertaining program. Step into the heart of an ancient tradition of reels, jigs, ballads, and laments. Then follow the pulse towards new music: an exuberant blend of irresistible rhythms, emotional voices, and fascinating instruments.
